Shopping
The old city is the place for shopping, though most of it is firmly geared towards the bountiful tourist trade with prices to match. Shops generally open from around 0900 and stay open until around 1900 or 2000, through opening times tend to be erratic and are very limited in the winter months. A number of small shops hug the Stradun, but it is wise to also delve down the warren of streets that break north and south from this thoroughfare to look for a few surprises. The daily market on Gunduliæeva Poljana mainly stocks fresh fruit and vegetables, but sometimes handmade lace and other unique souvenirs such as gold and silver jewellery, homemade honey and wooden handicrafts can be found here.
